SN45G with RAID and MSI Ti4600?

[SlickAndy]

I'm thinking of putting a SN45G based system together with the following:

SN45G
3200+ CPU
2x 512MB PC3200

I've got an MSI Ti4600 that I bought recently for another PC, and would quite like to use in this system. Will this work OK in the shuttle?

Additionally, I thought I might get a pair of WD SE 200Gb drives and chuck a PCI IDE RAID controller in (hey, what else am I going to put in the second 3 1/2" bay?)

Oh, and any suggestions for which DVD writer I should get?

So, any comments?

That stuff will rock in a Shuttle.

I've decided to go with the SN45Gv2 (so I get the 250W PSU).

Which RAM would you guys recommend? I want to get 2x 512MB in there. I've looked at Kingmax and Crucial - any thing I should watch out for?

I want a RAID0 controller - any recommendations? And pointers on stripe size,etc, would be handy if anyone can give pros and cons.

Cheers,

Slick

Get a 2500XPm and over clock that beastie.

Will save you a few bob

Nice choice by the way

Where can I get one of these, and exactly what's the difference between that and the regular 2500XP?

They run at a lower voltage and overclock like no tomorrow.

[SlickAndy]

Do I need to do anything clever to get it working, or can I just stick it into the socket and let rip?

[megah0]

insert into socket then go for it essentially

[SlickAndy]

So I don't need to worry about the voltages - they'll auto setup?

[megah0]

no, you do have to play with the voltages.

Just like overclocking nay CPU really, these just seem to have more headroom

[SlickAndy]

OK. So I've finally got the cash together to buy this lot. (plus the incentive that my main rig just blew up!)

One question: is my MSI ti4600 actually going to fit?? (the card is almost 9" long, some 2" longer than my old ti200 or ti4200)
